The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It has been enacted into law by 17 states and DC with 209 electoral votes. It needs an additional 61 electoral votes to go into effect.
It won’t matter if those who enacted total more than 50% of the electoral votes.
As of April 15, 2024, the National Popular Vote bill has been enacted into law in 18 jurisdictions possessing 209 electoral votes, including
6 small jurisdictions (District of Columbia, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont),
9 medium-sized states (Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington), and
3 big states (California, Illinois, New York)
After the last 25 years of American presidential elections, I’m more convinced than ever that I cannot trust a minority or a majority of them to make the right choices.
Tangentially and rhetorically, I wish Trump were president right now so that non-right-wing Americans could be convinced that genocide’s not a good look.
